The Challenge

Legacy monolithic platform was slow to load (3.5s LCP), difficult to iterate on, and limiting A/B testing capabilities. The marketing team could only run 2-3 experiments per month due to deployment complexity. Mobile performance was particularly poor, leading to high bounce rates.

2

Our Solution

We migrated to a modern headless architecture with Next.js App Router and Incremental Static Regeneration. Implemented edge caching with Vercel, integrated with Shopify for inventory management, and built a custom experimentation framework. Added real-time personalization engine and optimized images with next/image.
